Appendices 269
All dialling products produced by Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited have
incorporated this true anti-jamming feature as standard since 1985 and we do not consider it as
an option but a must in any professional security system.
True anti-jamming can only be found in products produced by Electronics Design and
Manufacturing Pty Limited and any other manufacturer can only offer second best due to our
patent on this very unique and effective procedure.
Appendix B
Test Reports Only When Armed
The Solution Ultima 844/862/880 control panel allows for test reports to be sent to
the base station receiver to verify that the dialler functional. So what you might say, as most
alarm diallers allow you to do this.
The one problem with this is that installations that report opening and closing reports will
generally also send a test report each day. This call is unnecessary, as a successful opening and
closing report means that the dialler is functioning correctly.
The
Solution Ultima 844/862/880 control panel allows you to save time and money
by providing test reports only while the system is in the armed state.
Program "LOCATION 4" on page 231 with Option 1 (Send test reports only if the system is
armed), and then set the test report time to be in the middle of the day. During Monday to
Friday when the premises are generally open and the system disarmed a test report will not be
sent. However, on the weekend, the premises will be closed and the system armed, so a test
report will be sent at the programmed time thus verifying the operation of the dialler.
At first glance this may not seem to be a big deal but lets do a few sums and you will see just
where savings can be made.
Let us assume that the customer wants, needs or has test reports programmed for once a day as
well as opening and closing reports. This means that at least three phone calls will be made
each week day and one call on Saturday and one call on Sunday.
By using the
Solution Ultima 844/862/880 control panel you will be able to eliminate
five calls per week. This means that over one week you will save your customer $1.25 and
over one year you will save them $65.00.
Not a bad saving, and remember these figures are for local calls only.
Turning the table slightly, a control room with lets say 1000 customers sending the above
mentioned reports, can expect to receive some 884,000 phone calls ($221,000 assuming local
calls) just for reporting opening, closing and test reports over a 12 month period.
If you use the
Solution Ultima 844/862/880 control panel, you can effectively cut the
calls to 624,000 per year (at a value of $156,000 assuming local calls), a saving of $65,000. If
we now assume that for each call one line is printed on the logging printer, and that one page is
filled per 60 calls. You will be able to save 4333 sheets of paper per year and at approximately
$45 per box this becomes a considerable saving.
As you can see using the
Solution Ultima 844/862/880 control panel will save you
money, your customer money and will help conserve our natural resources, in fact, the only
people who don't like this feature is Telecom.
